Lawyer says Suge Knight is legally blind in one eye

Suge Knight’s lawyer says he was legally blind when he ran down Terry Carter, killing the 55-year-old man outside of a Tam’s Burgers in Compton, California in January.

Knight’s defense lawyer claimed that he was legally blind in his left eye at the time, rendering the rap mogul unable to turn into traffic rather than plow forward straight into Cle “Bone” Sloan and Carter.

Attorney Matthew Fletcher told TMZ that his blindness is due to a glaucoma, a side effect of diabetes.

That inability combined with an alleged physical attack on behalf of Sloan, forced Knight to react by accelerating his truck directly into his alleged assailants.
